dusirial condition most enyiable when
compared with her continental rivals, and
though she carries heavy debt, the

A queer pointer. Now will the Gu. and the Ar'

DO these brethren intend In the face OF The acs oil

for reply TO the fact that this country Is developing

England ever developed hers even under the lat,
ters castiron protection laws that were repealed
only iorty-two years ago. The same Is true OF our
pig iron, besscmer steel aud other protected ip'

Our esteemed contemporary misappre-
hends the point OF the pointer we bor-
rowed from the Courler-Journal. Inc
high tariff on cotton manufactured goods
has not repressed cotton manufactures in
the United States. On the contrary, quite
the contrary. But IL is fact that free
trade England takes GO per cent. OF our
cotton crop, and manufacturing IL gets
$4,000, 900 for it from willing customers.
This ought not to be the case, and would
not be II we manufactured ii ourselves,
which we could and would do il we
had the same conditions of free trade
with tho world ~ England enjoys
In that case we could take advantage oil
tho facilities afforded for manufactures
near the cotton fields themselves, and
could undcrsell even England's present
prices, with better article, and make
more money than she does. We should
save, in the cost and charges for handling
and for the freight and insurance that that
country now pays on the raw cotton, n very
handsome profit in itself.
